So, is it wrong that I hope this doubles match that Humbert is participating in goes five long sets and he is a little tired for Felix tomorrow?

Edit: PHH and Murray are about to bagel Copil and Humbert in this 4th set lol

Opelka vs Milos, under or over 2.5 tiebreaks?

Gotta take the over, I think it goes at least 4 sets with 3 of those sets going to tie-breakers.

This is easily a match that could give Milos fits if his health isn't anywhere near 100%. Hopefully the back/Knee are holding up alright thus far so he can serve freely for this one.

Also, Kyrgios is still playing doubles right? I think he has a new strategy to employ.

Kyrgios is a selfish prick. He can leave the sport anytime now.

Yes, Milos takes the opening set in a tie-breaker (7-1 was the tie-breaker score).

A break! Three double faults from Opelka certainly helped.

Edit: Milos breaks again to take set 2 6-2. Bonus is he now starts set 3 on his serve.

Another break for Milos - Just needs to hold serve the rest of the way to cruise into week 2 of Wimbledon.

Milos wins 7-6(1) 6-2 6-1 as Opelka hit the wall and just lost the script. That said, Milos returned very well today. Milos will face either Kevin Anderson or Guido Pella on Monday.

It's looking like it will be Milos vs. Guido on Monday as Pella is up two sets to love on Anderson.

Marco Baghdatis retired after losing yesterday, I will always remember his run to the Australian Open finals and this match with Agassi in 2006 which was the last great match of Agassi's career

So Carolina Wozniacki was up 4-love in the first set of her match today against Zhang Shuai. The Woz then proceeded to lose 12 of the next 14 games as Shuai advances 6-4 6-2

The draw has definitely opened up for Milos as RBA upset Khachanov earlier today - If Milos can get by Pella, he'll play the winner of RBA and Paire for a spot in the semi-finals.

Man, this Hurkacz - Djokovic match is top drawer tennis. The young Polish kid is playing out of his mind.
